did george michael invent hip-hop ?

you heard that first, so it's obviously the genesis.

did genesis invent hip-hop?

phil collins and peter gabriel invented everything.

I don't think Geir will stand for that claim.

No.

genesis invented prog-rock then yes perfected it and commercialised and sold it to the masses.

Sorry, try again, Depeche Mode perfected music for the masses.

Where's the love for that gangbangin' thug MC Andrew Ridgeley!?

depeche mode's greatest moment is "nothing or pimpf".

imagine george and andrew getting into a bit of freestylin'

HANDS OFF
GO FOR IT!

Totally. This is completely right in every sense.

i wanted pepsi and shirley to catfight and tear each other's clothes off.

IIRC Mel Brooks invented rap. Dunno about hiphop.

He also released a video clip of the Hitler Rap as a fun accompaniment for To Be Or Not To Be, which is included at the beginning of this special. I actually remember that song, which made the Top 40 in Australia at the time. It's a lot of fun; the lyrics are naturally clever (during a bridge, Mel, Mr "Heil Myself" accuses the listener, "Say, your boots ain't black and your shirt ain't brown/ Get back Jack, you can't get down"). That much is typical Mel. But the clip is populated by the extraordinarily sexy, OK, rather sleazy, Solid Gold dancers! He mock-flirts with them shamelessly during the song. Bet you never knew Mel had THAT in him, did you? The sashaying women really are intoning "Heil, Sieg Heil", ever-so-breathlessly. See it, if only for the S&M-dripping yet still gay-looking "Nazi" boys in tight black leotards and jackboots with suspender belts over their naked torsos. The choreography is pretty damn suggestive, but otherwise very tight. Once the documentary proper starts, Mel is his usual munchkin-like self, playing around with the audience. Of course, we get to play "spot the famous face" as they stand up and ask him questions and as the camera pans around. So far I've spotted Bob Geldof, the bald lead singer of Hot Chocolate, Liam Neeson, Helen Mirren, Jonathon Pryce, Jonathan Miller, Derek Nimmo and Gordon Jackson, as well as our own expat (from Kogarah, Sydney, where I also grew up),
